2018 Summer Research Presentations

Congratulations to our student researchers in summer 2018. This year we had two high school students and three undergraduates from ARISE and Undergraduate Summer Research, respectively.

The NYU Tandon School of Engineering conducts the Applied Research Innovations in Science and Engineering (ARISE) program since summer 2013. We had two ARISE participants this summer,  Chengyuan Wang and Annie Eng, who have spent the past five weeks to make practical contributions to our lab’s research objectives. They both gave brilliant presentations at the program’s concluding colloquium.

The UG Summer Research Program was initiated in 2007. This year, three students (Eric Gan, Carol Shlyakhova, and Ziyi Ma) work full time in our lab with their faculty mentors (Joseph Chow)  and other mentors (Brian He, Jinkai Zhou, and Saeid Rasulkhani) on various research topics while also participating in seminars presented by distinguished administrative and academic personnel.
